What’s new in Microsoft 365 Copilot | June 2025
July 1, 2025Get to Your Notes Faster with the New Most Recently Used (MRU) Notebook List
July 1, 2025
Hi everyone, and welcome to the June edition of What’s new in Teams. You might have noticed a different name and picture under the title. I’m Kerry Perez Heffernan, a Director in the Teams team. Pete Daderko, who you know as the previous author of this blog, asked me to take over the honor of sharing the monthly updates with you all. I’m excited to get started!
As we approach the end of the first half of 2025, we have a great opportunity to look both back at what we’ve accomplished and ahead to what we’re working toward. Our focus with Teams has been to continue making it more secure, simpler to use, and smarter. We’ve made lots of progress towards these goals with the addition of new Copilot capabilities, and the introduction of AI Agents and assistants that make AI a core part of Teams. And there’s a lot more to come!
This month, one of the features that I’m most excited to share with you is “AI assistant in the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal.” It enables admins of Teams Rooms Pro rooms to save time by asking the AI assistant “how-to” questions related to Teams meeting spaces and management solutions and get data and insights about their rooms.
Read on for all the powerful solutions becoming available this month!
New features released this month:
Meetings, webinars, and townhalls
Workplace: Places and Teams Rooms
Chat and Collaboration
Enhanced spell check with multi-language support
Enhanced spell check will help ensure that your messages are clear and professional. When you type your message in the Teams compose box, any issues found will be marked. You can then choose to correct them from options suggested in a dropdown menu, ignore them, or add them to the dictionary. You can add up to three languages to your language list, enabling spellchecking in each of the languages.
New Microsoft Teams Chat and channels experience in GCC
The new chat and channels experience is now available for GCC users. The new experience is designed to help you collaborate more efficiently and effectively. It’s simple by default, enabling everyone to stay on top of what matters, and it’s powerful on demand, allowing you to organize information and communicate your way. Catch up on chat, channels and teams in one place, use filters to triage messages, create custom sections to organize conversations by topics, and more. Learn more here.
Meetings, Webinars, and Town halls
Meeting notes powered by Loop now available for Microsoft 365 GCC High and DoD
Teams Notes and Loop components are now available in Microsoft 365 GCC High and DoD environments, enabling real-time collaboration in chats and meetings. Loop components allow users to co-author tables, action items, and lists directly in chats, while Collaborative Notes let meeting attendees co-create and collaborate on their meeting agendas, notes, and action items. As Loop components, these features stay up-to-date across all shared locations, and assigned tasks automatically sync with Microsoft To Do and Planner for seamless task management.
CVI capabilities for non-Teams users to join Teams Town hall
Presenters can now use their own (non-Teams Rooms) video conferencing devices (VTC) to effortlessly join and present in a Teams Town hall. Organizers will see the Cloud Video Interoperability (CVI) join codes integrated in the Town hall share event dialog, which can be shared with presenters. Using these join codes, the trusted CVI device will join as an attendee and then will be promoted to a presenter. Presenters on trusted CVI devices can interact with others in the green room before the event starts, ensuring a smooth and inclusive experience. This capability is coming soon to webinar. Learn more.
Specify who can manage the screen
A new option in Teams Town hall lets organizers designate who can manage the screen shown to attendees during the event. Similar to Teams Live Events, selected individuals will be able to start the event, manage what attendees see, and end the event, helping to ensure a more cohesive event experience. The different options that can be selected are “Organizer, co-organizers, and presenters”, “Organizer and co-organizer only” and “Specific people”. This feature is for town hall only. Coming soon for Teams Rooms on Windows.
Users can join Teams Town hall and Webinar using PSTN codes
Organizers, presenters, and attendees can now join town halls and webinars seamlessly using a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) code provided in the invite. Once connected, they will automatically be directed to either the green room or the live session, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience.
Teams Town hall dial in-details in shared event dialog
Organizers and presenters can join a town hall using dial-in details, including the meeting ID and passcode, provided via the town hall share event dialog for organizers. They can connect via traditional phone lines (PSTN) or Microsoft Teams Rooms, ensuring participation even without internet or computer access. Once connected, presenters initially join as an attendee and then are promoted to presenter status, allowing them to access either the green room or the live session.
Add a presenter from the participant roster in a Teams Town hall or Webinar
Organizers can quickly add a presenter by calling them directly from the participant roster. Once the user accepts the call, they instantly join as a presenter, automatically joining the green room (if enabled) and the organizer and presenter private group chat. With the presenter designation, they will be able to share content, control the presentation, or interact with other meeting participants.
Teams Town hall usage reports in the Teams admin center (TAC)
Analyzing and understanding your event’s performance to make informed decisions for future improvements is now possible with town hall usage reports in the Teams Admin Center (TAC). Organizers will gain valuable insights into attendee engagement, participation metrics, and overall event effectiveness. By leveraging these reports, organizers can identify areas for enhancement, helping to ensure that each subsequent event is even more impactful and engaging.
Teams Town hall organizers and presenters can join as attendees
Organizers, co-organizers, and presenters are now able to experience the event from the perspective of an attendee, helping them spot issues, make real-time adjustments, and improve the overall experience on the spot. In this view, certain town hall features, such as Q&A, will be disabled just for that organizer while the broader attendee experience will remain unaffected. This capability will lead to more polished, engaging, and memorable events that truly resonate with participants.
Notification management for Teams Town hall and Webinar
Organizers and co-organizers can control when to send notifications to presenters and attendees, reducing email clutter by minimizing unnecessary notifications. Once the event is published, any changes to the title, date and time, description, or attendee list will automatically trigger notifications, but only for the people affected. All current email notifications will remain unchanged for co-organizers, presenters, and attendees.
Teams Phone
Copilot summary for transferred calls
Copilot intelligence is now integrated into call flows. This feature will automatically generate a summary of a call, allow for edits, then enable users to send a call summary to a transfer target before transferring the call. That means smoother handoffs, no lost context and no need for a pre-transfer consult.
Phone Devices: Copilot summary for transferred calls
Copilot is making call transfers more seamless on Teams Phone devices with support for AI-generated summary notes. On a Teams Phone device, simply select the option to generate call transfer notes before completing the transfer to ensure the recipient is well-informed. This speeds up call transfers across a wider variety of workplace environments.
Teams button support on multiple connected peripheral devices
You can now use the Teams button across peripheral devices without having to manually select a specific device in the Teams devices settings. This ensures a more seamless experience navigating across multiple certified for Microsoft Teams personal peripheral USB devices (with a wire or a dongle) connected to the same host device (such as your laptop). For example, you can use the Teams button on headset A to bring up the meeting pre-join screen, then use the Teams button on headset B to join the meeting, and then use the Teams button on your connected speakerphone to raise hand in the meeting, etc.
Ability to Set New Ringtones in Teams Mobile
Teams now supports multiple ringtones on mobile. Choose from a selection of tones – no longer limited to the default – allowing for a more personalized call experience and easier differentiation between call types. For example, factory workers in a loud production environment can apply a louder ringtone. Or, information workers can set a distinct ringtone for when colleagues forward calls, to more easily recognize potential customer escalations.
Opening Calls in a small window in Teams
For a less disruptive experience, Teams Phone lets users answer and open calls in a compact, resizable call monitor instead of the full call stage. It’s perfect for multitasking and keeping the conversation visible while freeing up screen space to stay productive.
Call waiting beep
Call waiting beep provides a subtle, non-intrusive notification when users receive another call while already on a call. This feature is available on both desktop and mobile.
Real-Time Text (RTT) for more inclusive calling
Real-Time Text enables text to be transmitted instantly as it is typed during a live call or meeting. This contrasts with the standard approach of having to wait for the full message to be typed in and sent before being able to view it. This improves accessibility for users with hearing and speech impairments and is supported in both Teams calls and meetings.
Workplace: Places and Teams Rooms
Find certified for Teams devices for all types of spaces and uses at aka.ms/teamsdevices.
Teams Town hall screen management privileges in Teams Rooms on Windows
When the Teams Room on Windows is a co-organizer or a presenter in a town hall, privileges can be granted to start or end the event, manage what attendees see, and promote attendees as presenters, ensuring a smoother and more organized event experience. This feature is available with Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more.
AI assistant in the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal
IT admins can save time and effort and get data and insights specific to inventory using this AI-powered assistant. The assistant can provide answers to ‘how to’ product questions related to Teams meeting spaces and management solutions, and give detailed information about the organization’s environment. Available in Teams Rooms Pro. The assistant is distinct from Copilot or an agent, therefore no additional Copilot license is required. Learn more.
Call quality reports for BYOD rooms in the Pro Management portal
As with Microsoft Teams Rooms, admins can now access detailed call quality reports for BYOD rooms with associated peripherals in the Pro Management portal. These reports include call history and session details that help diagnose network, audio, and video issues. To access reports in the Pro Management portal requires a Teams Shared Devices license for the room. Learn more,
Expanded and enhanced peripheral support for BYOD spaces
With room and desk peripheral support expanded to include docking stations and webcams, Teams users can seamlessly connect and utilize audio and video peripherals for enhanced experiences in bring your own device (BYOD) spaces. IT admins can benefit from automatic association of devices to a space, device inventory, and detailed reports for peripherals in the Pro Management portal. A Teams shared device license may be required for reports on a particular space. Learn more.
Android device health signals in the Pro Management portal
Admins now get Android device health signals such as meeting app responsiveness, Bluetooth enablement, console pairing with front of room devices, and secondary display health in the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. These new signals help admins manage devices proactively and facilitate ticket creation. More signals will regularly roll out. Available with Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more.
Fundamentals and Security
Meeting inherits label from shared files – GCC [Premium]
Now available for GCC users, Microsoft 365 E5 and Teams Premium customers can now leverage sensitivity labels from Microsoft Purview Information Protection to help set the right data protection settings in meetings. Admins can choose either an automatic label inheritance policy for meetings, or a label recommendation notification. When an attendee shares a file in meeting chat or via Live share that has a higher sensitivity than the meeting:
- If the admin has enabled the automatic label option, the meeting’s sensitivity will be updated automatically to match the sensitivity of the shared file.
- If the admin has enabled label recommendation, the organizer will receive a notification that recommends the organizer upgrade the meeting’s sensitivity to match the shared file.
Both options help to keep a meeting’s sensitivity level aligned with the content shared.
